Midget Heater Valve

[Ken Neff <kneff@tivoli.tivoli.com>]

I have a simple question:

To turn the heater valve off (stop coolant from flowing through the heater
core), do I turn the valve fully clockwise or counterclockwise (anticlockwise
for OFATP)?  I had assumed clockwise, but I ended up with a heater hose full
of hot coolant.  My valve could be broken, but I could just be turning it the
wrong way.

The car is a 1973 MG Midget.

                                                                        Ken
